Sake Tasting Trilogy
The basic procedure of sake tasting is: look, smell, taste. Note appearance first, scent next, and finally palate.
You already may be accustomed to drinking sake warm in small porcelain cups (Sakazuki). Serving sake this customary way can add a special, traditional atmosphere to your enjoyment. To serve warm, pour sake into a small open mouthed carafe (Tokkuri). Heat it in a hot water bath over very low heat to approximately 110ƒF, about 5 minutes. Never boil sake, and usage of a microwave oven is not recommended. Both destroy aroma and flavor. Many sakes also may be served at room temperature.
